Most observers did not expect the Arab spring to spread to Syria,
for a number of seemingly good reasons. Yet, with amazing rapidity,
massive and unprecedented anti-regime mobilization took place,
which put the regime very much on the defensive; what began as the
Syrian Uprising in March 2011 has evolved into one of the world's
most damaging and protracted conflicts. Despite over six years
having passed since the inception of the Syrian Uprising, this
phenomenon remains difficult to fully grasp, both in terms of
underlying forces and long-term implications. This book presents a
snapshot of how the Uprising developed in roughly the first two to
three years (2011-2013) and addresses key questions regarding the
domestic origins of the Uprising and its early trajectory. Firstly,
what were the causes of the conflict, both in terms of structure
(contradictions and crisis within the pre-Uprising order) and
agency (choices of the actors)? Why did the Uprising not lead to
democratization and instead descend into violent civil war with a
sectarian dimension? With all 19 chapters addressing an aspect of
the Uprising, the book focuses on internal dynamics, whilst a
subsequent volume will look at the international dimension of the
Uprising. Taking an innovative and interdisciplinary approach that
seeks to capture the full complexity of the phenomenon, this book
contributes significantly to our understanding of the Syrian
conflict, and will therefore be a valuable resource for anyone
studying Middle Eastern Politics.
